• Visual Studio Express Editions msgbox

  how do i use the if then to act on whichever button was pressed, like the yes no for example you would be looking at the dialog result of the MessageBox. This is the way of doing so: if MessageBox.Show("Message", "Caption", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question) = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes then 'the user pressed the yes button else 'the user pressed the no button end if to give the MessageBox the buttons, you need to look at the MessageBoxButtons enumerator, it supplies you the buttons that you can show to the user.

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) About event handler of overlay controls

  I have a slider control coverd with a border control. When i clicked the border, I want to change the slider's value at the same time. So the slider control should also handle the mouse click event, but it cann't because the border control is in front of it. How can i handle both the border and the slider's mouse click event If I'm not mistaken, routed events traverse the visual tree, not the logical tree. The docs are fuzzy on this (they never explicitly state which tree: http://windowssdk.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms742806.aspx ), but I am almost certain that the visual tree is what the events traverse. Can anyone confirm this ...Show All

• Visual Studio Effort in creating class recipe

  Hi! Is it much work to build some nice wizard that will create all properties in region for me, so I'll just write property name, and type eventually access type and so on. After a few clicks I'd like to have a class with properties generated - making properties always bored me. Jedrzej Ok, so getting back to your original question.

If you need something prettier then you would need to code what is called a custom Wizard Page, this is like doing a WinForm UserControl, plus the added logic you will need to write to validate entered values yourself, etc. Then, for generating a class, you have a cou ...Show All

I could not chose all the 12 facttables, right I only need to chose ANY one of the 12 tables,right If the answer is YES, could I chose diffrent tables for diffrent measure group and get the same result Nothing mentioned in MSDN.
